Halloween Basket

Design by Jessie Rayot, owner of Jessie At Home.

Crochet Halloween Baskets and bags and pumpkins abound right now, however this one is not like the rest. This basket uses a wood or aluminum base and also has stuffed sides to give it a fun, full shape. You could add a strap so you can use it for Trick or Treating as well. When you finish the evening, just tuck the strap in and you have your basket to keep your treats in!
